We spoke to Bet9ja Ambassador Victor Ikpeba about his thoughts and predictions for the fixtures – you can bet on over 200 markets for each match here at Bet9ja.
Spurs 2- 1 West Ham
This London derby promises to be a lively contest. Spurs have been inconsistent, but their attacking trio of Heung-Min Son, Dominick Solanke and Brennan Johnson has the potential to break through West Ham’s defense. West Ham’s threat on the counter, led by Jarrod Bowen, can’t be underestimated, but Spurs should have just enough firepower to secure the win.

Fulham 1-1 Aston Villa
Fulham have been resilient this season, and at home, they’ll fancy their chances of frustrating Aston Villa. With Villa’s Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran leading their attacking line, Villa are always a danger, but Fulham’s organisation and the creativity of the likes of Andreas Pereira, who scored a stunning goal for Brazil last week, could help them earn a hard-fought point.

Ipswich Town 1 -2 Everton
Everton’s form has been shaky, but they’ve shown signs of improvement and should have enough to edge past Ipswich, who are yet to win in their return to the English Premier League. Ipswich will put up a fight, especially at home, but Everton’s Premier League experience should see them through.

Man Utd 2-1 Brentford
Despite their struggles, Manchester United can’t be written off. With Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford always capable of producing moments of magic, they should have enough to win at Old Trafford. Brentford, led by the in-form Bryan Mbeumo, will make life difficult, but United’s desperation to turn their season around should give them the edge.

Newcastle 2-1 Brighton
Newcastle, driven by the likes of Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon are always tough to beat at home. Brighton are an exciting side with players like Kaoru Mitoma and Yakuba Minteh creating plenty of chances, but Newcastle’s defense and tactical discipline might just edge a thrilling encounter in their favour.

Southampton 1-0 Leicester
Both teams have struggled, but Southampton could snatch a narrow victory here. They’ve been edging closer to a win, and at home, with players like Joe Aribo providing energy in midfield, they might finally break their drought. Leicester have been inconsistent, and while they’ve got quality and experience in Jamie Vardy, Southampton could just squeeze a win.

Bournemouth 1-2 Arsenal
Arsenal have been in excellent form, and with Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz in their ranks, their attacking threat is undeniable. Bournemouth will put up a fight, and players like Antoine Semenyo could cause problems on the break, but Arsenal’s superior quality across the pitch should see them through.

Wolves 1-3 City
Manchester City, with Erling Haaland leading their charge, are simply too strong for Wolves. City’s relentless pressing and ability to control possession will likely overwhelm a Wolves side that has struggled defensively. Wolves have leaked goals so far this season and could be on the end of a big scoreline this weekend.

Nottingham 1-1 Crystal Palace
Nottingham Forest have solid so far this season – they’ll be hopeful of a result. Crystal Palace have struggled for consistency but still possess dangerous players like Eberechi Eze. Both sides will likely cancel each other out in a tight affair, despite the league table saying otherwise
